【题目】 UNESCO has recognized the Chinese art of paper cutting on its Intangible Cultural Heritage(非物质文化遗产) List. But paper cutting is at the risk(危险) of disappearing.
Voyo Woo, a Chinese immigrant, who loves paper cutting, worked hard to celebrate the ancient art form.

Ms Woo placed examples of her art around her as she displayed paper cutting at the shopping center. Ann Russ, a shopper, was attracted(吸引) by the nature of the work. She said it put her at ease.
“I like to know about Chinese art, specifically because it’s beautiful. It’s almost relaxing to put that much effort into it,” Russ said.
